VISUAL KNOWLEDGES
University of Edinburgh, 17-20 September 2003
Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities,

Arts and Humanities Research Institute, University of Glasgow
Edinburgh College of Art
This interdisciplinary conference will investigate the role of visual
technologies in informing, shaping and creating knowledge. Its
overarching aim is to investigate the claims of scholars such as Barbara
Stafford, Martin Jay, and Timothy Binkley that our own culture is
currently, in the wake of the electronic revolution, undergoing a shift in
which the visual medium, traditionally playing a secondary role as the
illustration of text, is becoming the dominant medium of thought.
The conference will project forward by casting backwards in time to
survey the role of successive new technologies of vision in generating
new cultures of knowledge, perception, and experience. From the
seventeenth-century invention of the telescope and the microscope, and
the progressive elaboration of spatial representation in photography,
cinema, the x-ray, scanning technologies and the interactive computer
screen, the conference addresses the broad role of technologies of the
visible in culture.
Conference sessions will include both historical and thematic panels. All
will be asked to reflect on the relationship of their topic to the emerging
history of the new media and its cultural consequences.
Plenary speakers will include:
John Bender (Stanford Humanities Center)
Tony Bennett (Open University)
Jonathan Crary (Columbia University)
Simon During (Johns Hopkins University)
John Gillies (University of Essex)
Martin Kemp (University of Oxford)
Celia Lury (University of London)

Full 2003 Series Announced
* Registration for June 20 ALA Workshop Opens Soon *
http://www.ninch.org/copyright/workshop.html
http://digitalcooperative.oclc.org/copyright/about.html
The Colorado Digitization Program, NINCH and OCLC are collaboratively
producing a series of day-long practical workshops on copyright issues for
the cultural community in a digital age. The series is funded by IMLS.
After the success of the first workshop, held as an IMLS Webwise
preconference, January 26, the organizing committee is pleased to announce
the schedule for the rest of 2003.
* American Library Association Annual Conference (Toronto, June 20)
* Society of American Archivists Annual Meeting (Los Angeles, August 20) and
* American Association for State and Local History Annual Meeting
(Providence, September 17).
A key feature of the workshops is the production of a continuously
expanding Resource Set of materials designed to enable participants take
the lessons home to the workplace and organize their own workshops.
The next workshop, co-sponsored with the Canadian Heritage Information
Network, (CHIN), and partially funded by OCLC, will take place as a
pre-conference of the 2003 Annual Meeting of the American Library
Association on Friday June 20, 2003, from 9:00am to 4:30pm. It will be held
at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.
ALA/CLA conference registration is NOT required for attendance at the
Toronto workshop and there is no fee; but you must register to attend.
Online registration begins in May. If you would like to be notified when
registration is available, please e-mail Amy Lytle at
<mailto:amy_lytle@oclc.org><amy_lytle@oclc.org>.
